Transcripts
what's up everyone we're back Dr
Maxfield Dr Shaw and welcome back to our
Channel dot Philly where we talk about
all things skin care and dermatology
what are we talking about today so this
was actually based off of you uh you all
took the chance to tell us what you
wanted to see more of this year and one
of the top things was actually skin care
routines products ingredients by skin
type so we're going to jump into that
today we're going to talk about oily
skin how do you build a routine for oily
skin oh okay so I have more like
combination skin maybe a little bit on
the drier side he has skin more on the
oily side so he's always looking for
things to mattify I'm looking for things
that make me glowy dewy but I can still
make recommendations because I have a
lot of patients that have oily skin so
we're going to be talking about our
favorite products for oily skin and also
how to build a routine for oily skin
before we get started a little bit of
housekeeping this is a new thing for us
this year we never do this in our videos
please like comment subscribe we'll put
some links below because we are trying
to grow our Facebook Community where
we're answering questions directly from
experts we're responding to questions
we're putting results of polls we're
doing polls and we're getting a lot of
good information sign up for our
newsletter we'll be sending more typed
out information to you to learn more
about skin care and skin routines in
general so today all things oily skin
here we go here we go
so starting off we always talk about why
things happen the way that they do so
why do we get a oily skin in the first
place well it's because we have oil
glands right so this is the biggest I
don't know actually it's not I was gonna
say this is like one of the things that
people are bothered most about their
skin if you have a skin but it's not
it's usually pores they're but
everything we have in our skin has a
purpose and our oil glands are no
exception so we have multiple different
types of glands in our skin some of them
make prototypical sweat some of them
make those pheromones that we still
don't really know what pheromones are
for and then some other glands the
sebaceous glands are made up of a
combination of fatty substances and
that's what creates the oil on our skin
primarily and that's also what is
functionally protecting our skin but
leaving some people a bit dewy more dewy
than they would like so people have
sebaceous glands they produce oil and
then some things influence you to
produce more oil one of these things is
genetics so that's obviously hard to
control the other piece of it is
hormones which is a lot of times why you
see acne flare during menstrual cycle
goals during puberty is because that
increased hormonal influence on the
sebaceous glands causes more oil
production which leads to oilier skin
and also leads to an increased risk of
acne and like I just said these oils
serve a purpose so the things that are
in the sebaceous glands are familiar
things triglycerides squalene which is
similar to squalane that we find in skin
care products wax Esters all this has a
very helpful role in protecting our skin
right so we need oils and we need pores
so we don't want to completely eliminate
these things but let's talk about a
specific ingredients that you can look
for in your products to solve this issue
of oily skin I think the easiest way is
to do what we always do which is like
break these into categories so one you
could look for ingredients that actually
inhibit or stop oil production that's
number one category number two you can
have ones that actually remove oils from
the skin and three you can have ones
that actually absorb oils on the skin so
that's the three different categories
and those are the ingredients that
you're going to look for so building off
of that these are some ingredients you
can look for and where these fit into
each of those roles so for the
ingredients to kind of regulate the oil
production it's not a long list and I
think one is certainly more effective
than the rest what is that ingredient
retinoids it's like the whole family of
retinoids just great at inhibiting oil
production then I think we talked about
this a lot of times but our second tier
here is your green tea and niacinamide
which is more effective who knows I
think they're probably fairly similar
and then there are some studies showing
that azelic acid might actually inhibit
oil production I have that as my third
tier I'm not 100 sure about how
consistently it works but there are some
studies that do support that as well so
that's inhibiting oil production now
let's talk about removing oil from the
skin I would say salicylic acid I feel
like you always get to shout out retinol
I always get the Shadows house look at
it but your sulfillic acid is the only
exfoliating acid that's is oil soluble
is able to penetrate any of your poison
and as a result removes oil from the
Skin So salicylic acid definitely sort
of a sister of that I just talked about
this in another video would be
lipohydroxy acid and then another thing
would be like your clay masks those are
also going to remove oils from the skin
so your bat night clay your um what's
the other client Calvin Kalin cowlin
play those actually when you put them on
and you wash them off they lift oils
away from the skin and then the last
category would be oil absorbing
ingredients and those are like silica
and perlite and you'll see that in some
mattifying moisturizers they just they
just tend to suck up oil and give you
more of like a matte finish and so those
are the ingredients you're looking for
when you're looking for an oily skin
routine so now let's specifically help
you all with products so if you didn't
want to listen to any of that you could
skip to this part of the video because
this is where you're going to build your
routine right and we'll just kind of
let's adopt this let's adopt this into
our skincare routine so we've talked
about this in our very basic video our
very very very basic video that lives on
our page cleanse treat protect these are
the tenants right so we're gonna talk
about things that you're going to
cleanse your face with we'll talk about
the products that contain some of these
active ingredients and then moisturizers
and SPF the first step is cleansing so
cleansing you could go with and I find
this this is not universally true don't
jump down my throat about this but
foaming cleansers tend to remove oils
better in my opinion the more your
gentle hydrating cleansers look for a
foaming cleanser if you're looking for a
cleanser like that in general or you can
look for cleansers that have salicylic
acid in it now if you don't have acne
you probably don't need a high
concentration of salicylic acid a small
concentration of salicylic acid like 0.5
something that you would see in like
cerave's sa cleanser but maybe not their
acne control cleanser because that one
has two percent salicylic acid which may
be a little bit drying if you just don't
specifically have acne but I would say
foaming cleansers let's shout out some
foaming cleansers what do you got I have
a foaming cleanser for you it's actually
not behind me I'm going to grab it
something right where it is all right
well I'll shout out a foaming cleanser
until he comes back the CeraVe foaming
cleanser is that the one that you're
gonna go with no okay the CeraVe foaming
cleanser would be a foaming cleanser
that you could start with so yeah foam
cleansers agrees cerebi foam cleanser
nice so this one is the La Roche Posse
trillary and purifying foaming cleanser
every product from this Brand's name is
a mouthful but the last gather on this
is just extraordinary I love a lather I
think foaming cleansers get a lot of
hate but I personally enjoy them quite a
bit so I'm thrilled that he brought this
up like SSS tier lather love it yeah so
this is a premier product in fact there
was a period where I went on a trip all
I had was nothing
um but okay quick story time uh there
was a period where I was traveling and I
was on a rotation visiting a clinic and
I only brought this cleanser I didn't
have shampoo body wash or a facial
cleanser dedicated and this was able to
fill all three of those roles that's how
good this product is so you can use this
as a shampoo don't say I said to do that
but you could do that and then I would
say you can also try like the CeraVe S8
cleanser small amount of salicylic acid
is phenomenal at removing oil so that's
it where I'd start a foaming cleanser an
essay cleanser and then you'd move on to
the treat stage so now with the
treatment stage so we've talked about we
actually haven't talked about toners in
a while positively or negatively I
actually don't believe in the word toner
anymore because toners most of them
aren't really astringents which is what
they used to be like a toner like a
watery version of most of your other
actives commonly nowadays so I wanted to
declare this is the this should be the
year of the toner it's probably not but
here's a nice one this is like a staple
for me it's the isn't tree green free
fresh toner again this is as lightweight
and refreshing a toner as you could ever
hope for I think it serves a perfect
purpose for a gentle toner for oily skin
helps the oil control very nice and
refreshing completely agree it's an
affordable toner it has that high
concentration of green tea which is
going to make it very effective for
controlling that oil production then I
think if we're on a night routine you
can use that green tea toner morning and
night but for a night routine then I
would add in probably retinol
yes so yes retinol uh we have a couple
here there are a infinite number of
amazing retinol and we have a whole
video on retinol and which retinols are
best for oily skin in fact we can it's
like part of our retinol video I don't
even remember so you can watch it we did
Red all by skin type didn't we I don't
think this exists it's fake I don't
think we did retinol by skin type we did
not do retinol by skin type actually
coming soon The Toy Story 3 retinol by
skin type uh today we are going to be
highlighting the may love series of
retinoids so first up you have the star
Grays enhanced retinol this is a regular
retinol but it has the complemented
benefit of having niacinamide which we
also mentioned is good at controlling
oil versus the Moonlight Retinol Serum
which has retinaldehyde which is one
step conversion of retinol may be
slightly more effective than your
regular retinol now I want to highlight
the uh melee looks like highlighter
fluid that's why you want to highlight
it it's like a dad joke for the non-dad
I'm a dog Dad it's true he is a dog
Daddy like been apparent longer than I
ever have been this is the yellowest
um it's turmeric yellow or Curry yellow
I guess I would say okay but the reason
I wanted to highlight this
this is the best in my opinion this is
my favorite smelling product I've ever
experienced just the experiential side
of skincare is is my favorite smells
very citrusy I'm gonna have to look into
this which is weird let's see what I get
from it though is is like a honeysuckle
and I don't remember if there actually
is but so in the South we have their
their flowers they have inside of the
flower there's a stem and you pull out
the stem there's like a drop of what
tastes like honey in it it's our very
fond memories of this um adventurous
Little Flower now Dr Shaw has he pointed
out the fact that this is very yellow
and I think I said in a previous video
it doesn't leave your skin yellow and I
apologize it's actually kind of does so
this is so yellow in fact and there's no
way you'll probably see this but it does
leave a little bit of yellow tint and I
do have stains on a lot of my carpets I
spill a lot of product when I shoot
videos because I throw things um but
this definitely can stain okay well fair
enough but you're using it at night
anyway so people shouldn't know that you
look like a Simpson after using this
product so that would be your night
routine and then you'd follow it with
protect at night which would be I'm more
moisturizer so what moisturizer are we
going to highlight for oily skin so this
is a moisturizer we've highlighted
before well we have two okay actually
highlighted in product of the year yeah
in fact reasonably so um so this is the
La Roche Posse tellurian double repair
matte moisturizer for oily skin the
reason why this is great for oily skin
is like I had mentioned it's got
niacinamide perlite and silica in it so
it's got both oil controlling
ingredients and oil absorbing
ingredients that give you that matte
finish so you still get the benefit of
having the ceramides and the glycerin
and the hydrating ingredients that
protect and restore your Skin Barrier
but then you have the ingredients that
help to control that oil production that
a lot of people with oily skin hate that
would be a complete night routine it
would and the alternative we have up
here is the just for someone who
actually specifically has acne prone
skin or has dark spots from acne this
Cetaphil mattifying acne moisturizer
salsaic acid treatment this thing is if
that one had to come out this would have
made my list last year because this is a
little more dedicated I think it's more
towards that acne skin amazingly
hydrating for lightweight moisturizer
not only does it have the salicylic acid
but it also has a couple other
ingredients that help Target dark spots
in the post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation it's a great product
for sure and definitely gives you that
more matte finish so that's your simple
night routine for oily skin cleanse the
toner the retinol the moisturizer for
oily skin and now let's talk about a
morning routine which is not going to
deviate much from this right the only so
same thing here you're going to treat
you can use a lot of the same products
like a toner in the morning as well but
then the main difference here I mean
it's just going to be the sunscreen and
so sunscreen is actually this is might
be the biggest battle for people with
oily skin because of a lot of sunscreens
in order to get them to blend feel
pretty oily like you'll find a lot of
the sunscreens really sit oily Really
Leave You dewy and so it takes the right
sunscreen to sit with oily skin so when
you look at it you can either look for a
lightweight option that either has
niacinamide in it to help with oil
control and you can skip that step
earlier in the routine if you already
had a nice animal ingredient or replace
it or you can look for what I found some
of the mineral sunscreens they actually
are a little mattifying in and of them
himself since we have a couple options
here for you okay so you would cleanse
you can use that same foaming cleanser
from the night time or the sa cleanser
from the nighttime you can again use
that green tea toner and then you can
use another treatment like a niacinamide
treatment or you could skip right to a
sunscreen that's going to have that same
benefit so let's bring out those
sunscreens ah yes it's back it's back
when isn't Trey's making two appearances
in this video so one option the isn't
tree hyaluronic acid watery Sun gel
which because it's more of that watery
gel consistency tends to be better for
oily skin another option that I don't
have in hand for oily skin would be the
Cetaphil Pro oil control sunscreen it's
SPF 30. I don't think I've ever seen it
at a store I've only seen it at our
offices and my patients with oily skin
tend to love this product I don't even
know where you can buy it we'll try to
find a link for you but that's another
great option so this one is the more
mineral sunscreen this is a release from
later last year dermatologist Daydream
sunscreen we just mentioned in passing
and I want of our other videos but this
one is a thicker sunscreen because it's
just purely zinc oxide which always is a
little heavier but the way it sits I
mean sometimes I wonder why I do this
come so far from the camera but it one
Blends which is a trick in and of itself
for a non-tinted sunscreen that's
mineral to actually blend where
relatively easily that's a huge
achievement but this also doesn't sit
dewy for me once it sets I feel like
it's a little bit I think it's a little
bit mattifying another one that I do
believe also fits this role it's from
Derma e and they have I don't know the
name me on this one's weird it's like a
scar protection scar thing but it's
actually a really great mineral SPF
again it kind of leaves a little drying
effect and it Blends amazingly well so
those are my two options for
non-niacinamide sunscreens I'll throw in
One Last Choice here in the matte
sunscreen is black girl has they have
their regular moisturizing sunscreen I
think came out first and then they also
have a matte sunscreen that's again a
chemical sunscreen but more mattifying
and those do really really well for
people with oily skin and so that's all
you need need for an oily skin routine
and that's also going to be a little bit
of anti-aging in there there's going to
be a little bit of exfoliation in there
for texture and so it's going to be an
overall good skincare routine for oily
skin and it's pretty simple three or
four steps yeah that's it when you're
starting because this is dedicated for
someone who's either lost in their
skincare or starting skin care so when
you're when you're at that point just
build a foundational regimen and then
you can tweak and personalize from there
so this is just meant to give you the
starting blocks the building blocks and
then from there you can just go at it
and personalize this throughout the year
perfect simple starting it off right
